Burley - where is the meeting point of the V in relation to your right foot? Thanks.

I had been struggling with my bunker play lately. Fats and thins, I just wasn't getting anywhere.

I remembered the Dave Pelz method at the weekend.

Set up square to a target some 10 or 15 feet left (for righties) of your target, then rotate the clubface open in the palm of the left hand and re take your grip. Swing along the line of your feet.

The little beauty kept popping up lovely after that!

I've been trying to play the ball back (just back of center)and it works really well. No fats and no thins, it's been pretty awesome so far. A little lower ball flight. When I first tried it, the ball would release and skid when it hit the green, now I can check it pretty well. I've never been that great out of bunkers unless I put a lot of time into practice. This almost seems too easy.

BurleyG, i dont get it, when i aim the right side of the V towards target and have my feet left, the meeting of the two is well outside (to the right) of my right foot.

huh?

was the shot in the video bladed a tad?


thanks for the vid, while I hit good bunker shots, I have issue with lining them up to get the ball to go in the right direction. with this video I think my 12 foot putts just turned into 2 foot putts!

LoL... No, I just hit it to hard, I was so excited doing the video! I went with one take, the teachers you see on Tv knocking it close as they demonstrate is more than likely there 10th take unless they pulled it off the first time. I am a teacher that can play a little and I was fine with it going long, I consider it reality golf...

Thanks

got pumped up on video eh? sounds like me in my last tounament, flew the green from 176 with a 7iron.LOL

BTW, I was in NO way calling you out about the shot. I just wanted to know what to "hear" cause a lot of my bunker shots sound heavier, so I think I need to work more on "not so fat".

thanks again
